"Homouroboros" by Peter Hudson
Resembling a large tree made of steel with 18 life-sized monkeys hanging from it, using strobes at night or viewers by day, a mind trick called “persistence of vision” causes the discrete monkeys to appear animated like a movie at 24 frames per second – and the animation consists of a serpent-like human hand feeding a monkey an apple!
At 24 feet tall and 30 feet in diameter, Homouroboros is one of the largest, most ambitious zoetropes ever created.
